	I'm incredibly dissappointed this request for you to revert the change
was ignored.

	The end result now is that the help documentation needs to be updated
and some of the file-roller translations have the string translated
while the rest don't.

	This is why we have string freezes and this is why most maintainers
abide by the GTP teams decisions around requests for string changes.

	However, please don't revert the fix now. The GTP and docs teams are
co-ordinating fixing the problem and anymore changes would just confuse
the issue.

Good Luck,
Mark.
